That's when you bring your own tablet with some downloaded movies.

I mean, yeah, it's conceivable that someone could try that. It is also conceivable that it would fail miserably.

Nah, that's when you bring you "I'm paying attention"-mask to pretend you're paying attention.

So you're wearing a mask to pretend to be watching an ad so you don't have to actually watch the movie that you want to keep watching?

Sure we can conceive of nearly anything, but it's not like airlines can realistically stop people from bringing their own devices on planes and watching what they want. That's always going to be the alternative if the in-seat entertainment gets too shitty.
